Evidence
Only exact linked records appear here. A missing appeal, commencement or completion entry means that evidence has not been established on this page. It does not prove that the event never happened.
Planning scale and individual notice or phase quantities remain separate. Notice quantities are not added into a development total or completion percentage.
The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.
The proposed dwelling and access road, by reason of its elevated, exposed siting, steeply sloping topography and visual prominence within the rural landscape, would constitute an inappropriately sited form of development, that would be visually obtrusive and would fail to integrate into the surrounding rural landscape. The proposed development would seriously detract from the visual and scenic amenities of the rural area, would not respect the natural topography, and would give rise to a visually obtrusive development which would be visually obtrusive and would not fit appropriately into the rural landscape. Accordingly, the proposed development would, if permitted, materially contravene Objectives RP 5-22, GI 14-9 (a), (c) and (d) and HE 16-21 (a) and (d) of the Cork County Development Plan, 2022 and would not be in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The proposed development is located within a rural area categorised as a Transitional Rural Area, where it is an objective of the Cork County Development Plan, 2022 to facilitate only the genuine rural-generated housing needs of the local community. On the basis of the information submitted, the applicant has failed to demonstrate compliance with any of the categories of housing need set out under Objective RP 5-7 (a)–(g). In the absence of such evidence, the Planning Authority is not satisfied that the applicant has demonstrated a rural generated need for a house at this location. It is therefore considered that the proposed development would conflict with the settlement policy and objective RP 5-7 of the Cork County Development Plan, 2022 and would, therefore, be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
